Title: The Fine Old Truth (hds_beltane)

Pairing: Draco/Harry
Rating: R
Warnings: *prostitution, past suicide attempts, talk about suicide and death, mention of heart-attacks but no actual heart-attack, mention of natural character deaths [not Harry or Draco]*
Word count: 9680
Summary: The year is 2078, Harry and Draco are both 98, an age to be proud of even for wizarding kind. Pride, though, is not on either man's mind, as they meet at Geezers Old Folks' Hotel shortly before the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts.
Why you want to read this: oh, this was so lovely. you rarely see harry and draco written as old men, and this is now one of my favourites in that tiny little niche. i liked the respect they had for one another- very heartwarming, and very endearing. i'm now happily imagining their trip to paris, which i'm suspecting will morph into a kind of interrailing adventure all over europe. i do also like that draco didn't suddenly stop being suicidal just because he now has harry's attention. it feels very real.

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter
Characters: Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy
Summary: When Potter starts behaving more oddly than usual, Draco has no choice but to take an interest. After all, it’s his job. Sort of.
Why you want to read this: because this was a fun read - it had me laughing throughout it all. i also thought it was really refreshing that the roles were reversed in this; i'm so used to harry thinking draco's up to something, and here it's the other way around. a lovely read. hilarious.

Relationships: Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter
Characters: Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter, Narcissa Black Malfoy
Additional Tags: Older Characters, Romance, Post Hogwarts, Retirement, HP: Epilogue Compliant
Summary: After nearly two decades hidden away in the Wiltshire countryside, Draco Malfoy’s surprised to see a familiar face come into his local.Career Choices: Harry: retired/beekeeper; Draco: weathermancer
Why you want to read this: i don't think "because this made me want to move to the countryside and keep bees" is a good reason, but anyway. harry and draco are older in this, which is possibly my favouritest thing - for some reason that's my new weak spot? and i love how they come together in this.

Summary: Harry Potter will fall in love with the first person who kisses him. Draco knows what he must do. A Christmassy Hogwarts fic, this.
Why you want to read this: I curled up with this one evening, wanting something classic and good. often that means 'tropey' for me. XD and this delivered! i thoroughly enjoyed it. it's sweet and funny and a light read, despite the length. :)
